MARC BOUWER (on Sonja Morgan, RHONY, Beyoncé, Rihanna & Project Runway) Oct 08, 2023

Show notes

New York City Fashion Week has come and gone and, once again, it was filled with Real Housewives. NYFW and Real Housewives made us think about this epic chat that we had during our first year with Fashion Icon Marc Bouwer. Marc has dressed them all and we are living for it. Marc tells us what it is like to work and socialize with with the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna, Whitney Houston and Shania Twain. He also talks about what it was like dressing Angelina Jolie for the Oscars and the benefits and challenges of dressing Celebrities for any awards show. Marc discusses his own style, the men and women he thinks are best and worst dressed and what trends he likes and dislikes in the current state of fashion. We discuss the influence that Project Runway has had on the fashion industry, Bravo alum Christian Siriano, Joan and Melissa Rivers' ("Who are you wearing?") contribution to the industry and the effects a show like Fashion Police has had. We had to ask about potential dream clients such as Madonna and Cher. Of course, no sit down with Marc Bouwer is complete without discussing which Real Housewives he has dressed, his long standing relationship with Sonja Morgan both professionally and personally, and that killer Season Twelve reunion dress he made for Miss Morgan. This is an episode not to be missed.

MELISSA GORGA’s Lookers Gentleman’s Club Ex-Colleague Tells All (on Whether Melissa Was a Stripper, Joey’s Club Visits, & RHONJ) Oct 07, 2023

Show notes

Melissa Gorga’s Lookers Gentleman’s Club Ex-Colleague Nicole Carrasquillo steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Nicole worked with Melissa Gorga at Lookers Gentleman’s Club in Elizabeth, NJ way back when before she was Mrs. Joey Gorga, before she was Tre’s sister in law, before RHONJ and before the infamous “Strippergate” which had, has and probably always will have Melissa claiming she was not a stripper. Nicole says, “not so fast” to Ms. Gorga as she details the inner workings of Lookers answering questions such as how often Melissa worked, what did she wear, why she denies various facts surrounding “Strippergate”, the clubs owner / manager’s appearance on RHONJ, the fallout on RHONJ and in real life after “Strippergate” for many parties involved, Joey Gorga’s frequent Lookers’ visits, how Joey met and courted Melissa and finally, hopefully, once and for all, did Melissa Gorga strip at Lookers. Nicole spills the tea on this topic that just will not go away, at least for today, that is. So pour yourself another cup of coffee, a large glass of wine and sit back and enjoy!

KADY CANNON (Sets The Record Straight on Ex-Girlfriend Morgan Wade, Kyle Richards, Mauricio & Viral Headlines) - I Oct 02, 2023

Show notes

Kady Cannon steps Behind The Rope. Kyle and Mauricio are separating became a headline heard all around the world a few months back. Many of us know Kady from her time as an OG on Temptation Island. Many others have heard Kady’s name for the first time after the announcement of Kyle and Mo went viral and Kady’s ex girlfriend, Morgan Wade, was closely linked to Kyle. Today Kady is here to mention it all separating fact from fiction, weighing in on what she thinks is really going on between Kyle and Morgan and Mauricio, discussing her own relationship with Morgan and Kyle’s involvement in that relationship, opening up about what it is like to get dragged into this public viral triangle, chatting RHOBH - a show she was a fan of before all of this, opening up about the women - Morgan and herself - behind the public headlines and answering the question what next and where do we all go from here. Y’all have asked for this and the day has finally arrived. Sit back, pour a stiff cocktail and enjoy!

The Real Housewives Of DC's CAT OMMANNEY (on The Salahi White House Crash, FBI Involvement, Andy Cohen & RHODC) Oct 01, 2023

Show notes

The Real Housewives of DC’s Cat Ommanney steps Behind The Rope. With all this nostalgia running rapid in the BravoVerse these days, we figured it a great time to share this chat with the Real Housewives of DC OG - there was only one season after all - Cat Ommanney. Cat shares stories that sound like they are straight out of Bethenny’s Reality Reckoning, it makes us wonder if she has called B or her team of super powered attorneys. Cat gets reminiscent about what it was like to film the one season wonder, shares her feelings on her cast-mates Mary Amons, Linda Erkiletian, Stacie Scott Turner and last, but certainly not least, Michaele Salahi (now Schon) and fills us in on the status of those relationships today. On a more serious note, Cat discusses the issues of racism and politics that were ever present during the RHODC season. Of course, we address how the show was impacted by the worldwide, viral country security breach of the Salahi's “crashing” The White House Dinner. We discuss the implications of having production temporarily shut down, the involvement of the FBI, the federal investigation not only into the Salahis but Bravo as well, and why the show was not “green lit” for a much needed second season. Oh hey there Michaele and Tareq. In typical Cat fashion, nothing is held back and we wouldn’t expect anything less.

Danielle Cabral vs. Jennifer Aydin, Jackie & Tre BFFs and Why We Wont See Much of Joey or Luis Next Season Sep 30, 2023

Show notes

Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral got into an altercation this past week. Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral were suspended while Bravo investigated the incident. Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral have resumed filming RHONJ Season 14 and are back to work. We break our silence on the matter, investigate what truly happened, discuss what this means for the rest of Season 14, analyze why both women have returned to work, chat about what this means for the future of RHONJ, share our thoughts on who was in the right and who was in the wrong and count the seconds before one Miss Bethenny Frankel says, “See, I told ya so” a la her “Reality Reckoning”. Speaking of RHONJ, we discuss the alliance shifts - Jackie vs Marge, Jackie and Teresa’s new friendship, Jackie and Jennifer Aydin, Melissa and Danielle Cabral and much more. Finally, we discuss which RHONJ are having a good season, which are having a bad season and why we will see much less of Joey Gorga, Luis Ruelas and the House Husbands when RHONJ Season 14 returns next year.

RHONJ Girls Gone Wild, Bethenny's Master Plan and Teresa & Melissa's Potential BravoCon Reunion Sep 29, 2023

Show notes

Based on last season of RHONJ and the current tea being spilled from this season of RHONJ, we have to start today’s show with a very basic statement that everyone on, in and associated with RHONJ has lost their mind. Moving on, we analyze whether Shannon’s DUI is the best storyline ever or will cause her to lose her job and doll out advice on what she needs to do to turn her life around and overcome this trauma. For all those who think we should start an advice podcast in our non existent spare time, this one is for you. Next we analyze what could be Bethenny Frankel’s true motives for the “Reality Reckoning”, why we would benefit from these motives and, once again, ask whether Bethenny is one step ahead of all of us in seeing the future of Reality TV, its methods of distribution and how to profit off this juggernaut medium. Finally, we share our Only Fans update, deep dive the official BravoCon schedule, discuss Melissa and Teresa’s potential BravoCon reunion and share all our thoughts from The Countess’ Cabaret in Philly which we attended this past week. Thank you Ms. de Lesseps.
